As was stated in the other Mexican flag flying post. Flags of different nations should NEVER fly on the same pole/standard.

I love these local yokels that think they can make up flag rules as they go. Some local politician dies they fly the flag a 1/2 staff and ignore the law that says only the POTUS or the Governor can order the American Flag to fly at 1/2 staff.

TIFTON, Ga. -- Some citizens have voiced opposition to the mayor's decision to fly the Mexican flag at Tifton City Hall in sympathy for the six immigrants who died after vicious attacks one week ago in south Georgia.

Mayor Paul Johnson decided to fly the green, white and red flag -- donated by the parish priest of Tifton's only Catholic church -- under the American flag and the state flag in a gesture of solidarity with the Hispanic community shaken by the attacks.

Johnson said he put the flag up as an expression of sorrow to the Hispanic community. He will keep the flag up for six days -- one day per each man killed.

But some residents disagree and called the mayor and a local radio station to complain.

WTIF station manager Chris Beckham said the radio received seven back-to-back phone calls Thursday arguing that the United States and Mexican flags should not fly together.

Beckham said the callers thought it was the wrong thing to do.

But Johnson remains firm.

Three people from Moultrie in neighboring Colquitt County -- Stacy Bernard Sims, 19, Jamie Underwood, 27, and Jennifer Wilson, 26 -- are being held without bond in the deaths of the six Mexican farm workers. The victims were killed with guns and baseball bats during a string of robberies at trailer parks in and around Tifton on Sept. 30.

Authorities believe Sims and Underwood may have been part of a robbery gang that had been targeting immigrant workers, who often carry large sums of cash because they lack documents that some banks require to open accounts.

About 20 home invasions aimed at Hispanics have occurred within the past three months in Tift County and two adjoining counties. Thousands of Hispanic farmworkers pick crops across southern Georgia.
